Abstract

This qualitative systematic literature review aimed to explore the factors that may oblige the formulation of the international regulatory framework for countries in bilateral treaties. It can be concluded from this study that bilateral treaties do not alleviate all the problems that are associated with international engagement. Despite having bilateral treaties, nations still struggle with major issues that lead to disputes. This has been evidenced by the scholarly evidence indicating the need.
